“One day I’m sure we will [get back together] but not while I’m here [in Las Vegas for ‘Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man’], not while I’m still working at SUR and ‘Vanderpump Rules’ is on,” the reality star, 32, told Page Six on Tuesday.

“After everything that happened this past summer, it’s just not a group of people he wants in his life,” she explained. “So we’ve done our best to maintain our friendship because we’ve had a relationship with each other for 11 years on-and-off. It hasn’t been easy at times, but we have a lot of love and respect for each other and we’ll always be involved in each other’s lives in some way.”

Marie and Valletta, 36, began dating in 2016 after she filed for divorce from Mike Shay, 30. They broke up in October 2017 after filming for the Bravo show wrapped. He has made frequent appearances during the show’s sixth season so far, and even got his own cheating storyline as Kristen Doute approached Marie with allegations that he “made out” with another woman behind her back.

“In regards to [Monday’s] episode, it was very frustrating because there were several other conversations I had [that weren’t aired],” Marie said. “It’s been really frustrating. I do feel the need to defend Rob because what everyone is saying happened isn’t the case. I’m not defending myself. I’m defending him because I’m a very loyal person and that’s out of character for him.”

“Rob didn’t even remember seeing her,” she added. “I believe him 100 percent. If he said it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen. We’re very friendly people and that can come off as flirty. That’s how we both are. It’s unfortunate that the girl made it something it wasn’t. If I don’t see a problem with it, I don’t see why everyone else should make a big deal out of it.”
